Can you post a video? I would like to see stamina level u use and maybe i can learn it but so far no success :(

Try timing the 2nd F12B2 a bit later. This should fix his issue. Judging by your attack and Goro's being juggled, you did input the 2nd F12B2 a bit early. The 2nd F12B2 works on certain height and above.

Thunder God is still good imo. He's got a lot more to work with than a lot of characters and is CERTAINLY not bottom 5.

It's just his slow projectile that makes Raiden have to work extra hard outside of displacer. Not a huge hurdle to work through with enough patience. TG suffers from zoning while displacer loses a lot of b1 utility compared to TG. Both even each other out IMO. TG breaks 2-5 hits of armor while displacer has a sort of flash Parry as well.

MoS I haven't found a reason to really use since TG/displacer seem to cover majority of MUs

The only thing I can think of is MoS handles Jason fairly well (specifically Unstoppable/Relentless)

How does TG break 2-5 hits of armor?
 
With all of the lightning "hold" moves
Meh, thats about half right. You have to use certain setups for certain characters since some armor is faster or slower. Safe/plus armor is really the only one worth breaking tho since it sometimes gives advantage to the opponent if you block it. If the armor is punishable on block just let them hang themselves but sometimes you just gotta put the breaks in their heads.

Can displacer ex teleport armor get broken or is it too fast? does it have invincibility?

It's not invincible and I've had it get broken. Only reason it got broken is because I accidentally held it in place. The safer bet for using it as a wake up to teleport away because if you input F12B2 too quickly you might stay in place and get punished.

I have been messing with displacer, trying to get the f12b2 x3... and the b2xx exTP... not easy. But he seems like he has a lot of options.

For F12B2 x3 you have to learn how to dash then run with Raiden. Try practicing on females, then males, then goro. If you can do it on Goro half the time then you're set. Displacer has a lot of good options, best of luck

Yeah I know what you mean, I was just saying you can break it with that. (b3,2hold primarily)

What is the best option after d1 on hit? B11xextele, B11xshocker, throw? f2,2+4 seems to be too slow.
